That sounds good enough to me. If he doesn't understand that, he is a problem child anyway.
Most men don't take hints very well and want to hear something directly from the horse's mouth. I know I sure did. He wants to know if it is his "fault." Either you are comfortable telling him that or not. If you don't get pretty specific that you are not interested, he will likely keep up the chase.
Men are in a constant state of confusion about that because on one hand we are always told women find it cute when we keep up the chase and then by others we are told it is creepy. It is hard to tell from one girl to the next what rules we are playing by.
Honestly, IMO it doesn't much matter what you tell him as long as he gets the point that you are not interested and that won't change.
Whoops...I started a reply and just “disappeared” it unintentionally...
What I was saying, Condor, was that I see how confusing it must be to know what approach to take with a woman. Do it this way and you are a cad, do it that way and evoke an entirely different response. To make it worse, on any given day a woman could respond differently to the same male behavior!
Men don’t have it easy...and women are always the final arbiters.
Oh, and this, too.
I did look at your homepage-—and saw the Yuengling “label”.
The man in question was drinking Yuengling (now you’re going to say, “he can’t be all bad...” lol) He would put salt in it! I meant to ask why, but forgot...so, why? Do you do that, too?
